But it isn't "change for the sake of change". Not having to see the scrollbars all the time makes the web a better experience to me, and it's very useful in small spaces. Finally, it can be changed back in the settings and become an always

"I think that Mozilla does have the resources to push additional projects than Firefox." I wish they would prioritise their UI before they do this, though. Mozilla has one of the most talented UI-teams in the browser landscape based on the

"New scrollbars is not a feature - it's an annoyance." It's called innovation, and I'm glad it's still happening.

Are you saying that they were as decentralized as Tribler?

Read the FAQ first. In there they state that their top-of-the-list priority if they exceed the initial 400 000 dollar is supporting other platforms.

I am aware of this case, and have asked my VPN-service explicitly. Their (translated) reply was: "We do not store any logs, and we are not planning to do so. Since we do not store anything, we have nothing to hand out to those who are askin

Which browser are you using? I am not seeing this no matter how much I resize the window. (I use Nightly, Firefox alpha) Edit: To clarify, the line/link he posted splits across three rows automatically.

But the data is no longer tied to me as it leaves the VPN-service.

For me, the answer to that question depends on what happens with my data. Should I assume the worst?

I remember testing Tribler a few months ago, and I while I think the idea is brilliant, I didn't keep it for long for the reason you mention above. One of the reasons I switched to OS X in the first place is the high quality of the applicat

"Flash allow you to create any kind of interface and experience you want." Exactly, and that's the problem. It means that it behaves the way the author wants it to, ignoring the users preferences. That is poor usability. I have lots of smal

It's IE's situation in: http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history all over again. I would not like that mess to repeat with CSS.

This raised a (silly) question in my head: Does a public comment on the Internet, like the one he made, fall under his copyright thus allowing him to deny you the right to copy it?

Do we know if Facebook has an automatic system which tries to detect inappropriate images, and if it is part of the issue here? Or are they relying completely on having people flagging images? If the latter is true, aren't the friends of th

It should be noted, however, that many reports have concluded that Apple-customers are (much) more likely to pay for software and apps. This certainly plays a role in which platform developers choose, assuming they want to make money this w

While this wouldn't be a bad idea (for this reason) if every IP-number was only linked to a single person behind the screen, I would expect a lot of people on HN to be hidden behind VPN's and other solutions for masking IP-addresses. These

NoScript and RequestPolicy are best used together (as recommended by the creator of the latter) as they serve different purposes. This, plus a few other add-ons in these areas are my set-up and that works well.

"There is another problem, US govt' need to get access all these messages." You're assuming the service has to be located within the US. Why?

Why the downvote? It was never down, which means there was no need for a cached-version. It must've been some local error for the original poster, which was what I wanted to point out.

Well, I am referring to the image the (slightly techish) public has of Firefox as an outdated, slow competitor to Chrome. As I follow it's development closely, however, I am aware they are getting better again and this I why still use it as

Gecko pushed forward too. Then they stopped, they got large and bulky. Things changes, one day Webkit won't be the ones to be first with the new. Competition fuels this process. We should have learned this lesson from Internet Explorers dom

Now there's a nice surprise, Nightly (Firefox-alpha build) actually scores one percent higher than Chrome Canary. I do hope Mozilla catches up in other areas, there needs to be more than one large non-Webkit browser out there to push the we

This is bound to disrupt a lot of industries. I can already imagine the massive lobbying efforts and propaganda against it.

Do you have a source on this? Isn't there such a thing as "you have the right to remain silent" in court as well?

If you mean that it is possible to "blast satellites out of space", then yes, it is true. China used it on one of their own satellites to test with, and considering other nations were not informed, the US-government was outraged.

On OS X at least, this looks really good and I haven't found it a bother at all. Then again, I'm probably not the average computer user. As it is only hidden when there is no forward-history, and the user wouldn't be looking for it at that

"But should a nation like China decide it doesn't want uncensored Internet streaming to its shores from space, there's nothing really stopping it from blasting the satellites out of the sky either." After the recent events, I wouldn't be co
